EPBD explained: What's ahead for DHC?

This exclusive online meeting is aimed at briefing our members on the recently adopted Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

The EPBD targets a fully decarbonised building stock by 2050, contributing directly to the EU’s energy and climate goals. The revised EPBD, alongside the increased ambitions from the REPowerEU initiative, has set a clear decarbonisation pathway. 

Under the directive, new challenges and opportunities arise for the building and the district heating and cooling sector.  

On Thursday 19 September from 10:00 to 11:00 members will discover what the EPBD implies for the district heating and cooling sector and the implementation pathway across various EU Member States. 

This discussion will be led by Euroheat & Power and external guest speakers, with expertise in the topic: 

  • Pauline Lucas, Policy Director, and András Takács, Senior Policy Advisor at Euroheat & Power 
  • Johann Zirngibl, Board Director at EPB Center and Leader of REHVA’s EU Policy and Advocacy Group 
  • Victoria Taranu, Senior Researcher at the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) 

If you are a member and did not receive the invitation via email, please do not hesitate to reach out to Carlos, our Policy Assistant, at ce@euroheat.org, who will be happy to assist you.
